淑女的欲望

At 11 PM, Xander and Scarlett arrived at the White Mansion after dinner at one of Xander's friend's Italian restaurants.

Scarlett felt tired and needed to lie back on her soft bed after a hard day's work.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ However...

Scarlett is surprised to learn that starting tonight, she will move into Xander's room until the main suite is renovated.

Even though they had slept in the same room a few times, she still felt nervous. Her heartbeat couldn't calm down as she followed Xander to his room.

She entered Xander's bedroom for the first time since she had lived in this house. She was surprised to see that his room looked neat with minimalist furniture and dominant with white and black colors, typical of men's rooms.

The furniture layout is not much different from her bedroom; a large bed in the middle and a black leather sofa placed in the corner with a view of the city center.

Seeing the beautiful city lights from a distance can make Scarlett's tiredness slowly fade away. For a moment, she just stood there, and somehow the tension she felt when she entered Xander's bedroom started to lessen.

After placing his office bag on the table in the corner, Xander glanced at Scarlet, standing near the glass wall, seen enjoying the view outside.

He is amazed at how beautiful she looks. Even though she doesn't do anything only stands there perfectly still. He satisfied his eyes, watching her figure from the side as he took off his suits, then rolled his sleeves to his elbows.

Before long, Xander approached Scarlett and stood beside her. He looked where her eyes were looking.

After a while, he turned to her before asking, "What were you thinking?" His voice sounded gentle.

Scarlett turned her gaze to him. Seeing how hot Xander was standing in front of her with his hands in his trouser pockets could make her pulse slowly speed up.

And when her gaze fell on his abs, suddenly her mind was filled with what happened last night at the hotel when she saw his half-naked body.

Afraid she couldn't stop throwing herself into his embrace, Scarlett averted her eyes in the other direction. She's trying to calm her thoughts before answering, "...I was thinking about our date trip tomorrow!"

Xander's lips curved into a faint smile when he saw her blush. "Are you excited?"

"Hmm… can you tell me a bit about the plans tomorrow? So I can get ready. I mean, about my outfit, it would be weird if I used the wrong outfit, right?" Scarlett flashed her beautiful smile to entice him.

She was still trying to get information from him. But it seems her efforts were in vain. This man didn't even tell her where they were going. And that made her even more curious.

For a moment, he was mesmerized by her seductive smile. But, because he wanted to surprise her tomorrow, he refrained from telling her. He just smiled back warmly.

"It's almost midnight, and nothing is too urgent to be discussed now. Let's wrap up the night and get some rest. Especially for you, babe. You look so tired!" He changed the subject, not wanting to discuss his plans for tomorrow.

Scarlett could only smile at him. Then walked out of the bedroom, but before she could get out, Xander called her.

"Scarlett, where are you going?" He frowned while walking at her.

"I'm going to get my pajamas. It's in the other room..."

"I think they've already moved your stuff in here. You can check the walk-in closet. Your pajamas and all your other clothes are probably in there."

Scarlett was amazed at how quickly Xander moved her things to his bedroom.

'Gosh, this guy!!'

Soon Scarlett entered the bathroom while Xander rushed to another bathroom to shower.

Before long...

When Scarlett came out of the bathroom, Xander was wearing his casual clothes when he entered the room too.

"Are you done?" Seeing her nod, he asked her to sleep first.

"Xander, do you still want to work? It's already the middle of the night..." She asked worriedly.

"Yeah! I still have something to read. I won't be long... you can sleep first!" He said.

Scarlett could only nod and lay down on the soft bed. She's sleepy!

While Xander...

As he entered his office, his cell phone rang.

"What is it!?"

"Sir, I heard from Ben you're canceling tomorrow's meeting?" A female voice came from the other end. "Why?"

Xander walked over to the sofa and sat on it before saying, "I have some personal business! You called me to ask that?" He frowned.

"Sir, if I may suggest... Please don't cancel the appointment. This is the third cancellation in this week alone..." Her tone sounded frustrated, making Xander close his eyes while leaning back on the couch. "Xander, are you there?" she asked again.

"Hmm!" He muttered softly without opening his eyes, instead massaging his forehead, which started feeling hurt.

"So you can come to tomorrow's meeting!?" She asked happily after hearing him, 'hmm.'

"I can't!"

A disappointed sigh from the other end made Xander open his eyes. His blue eyes flicker before he continues, "...you can re-arrange the meeting before we fly to Dubai! But this is the last time I will do this for you, Zoey!"

"Yes! Thank you, Xander...sir..." She laughed happily, and that made Xander shake his head. "Okay, I won't bother you anymore...Bye!"

"This woman is troublesome!" Xander muttered under his breath and stood up from the sofa. He walked to his office desk and read some files on his laptop.

However, his cell phone on the table vibrated a few minutes later.

[Zoey Warner:] Thanks, Mr. Xander! First night in Dubai, dinner at Nobu, on me!! (smile icon)

Xander chuckled while looking at his phone. Before he wanted to type something, another text appeared.

[Zoey Warner:] Good night, sir! Don't sleep late, it's not good for your health! (Worry Icon)

[Xander:] Thx!

After that, he turned off his phone and continued his work peacefully.
